Sport Events, Concerts, Theatricals, Charitable Surveys
and School Exhibits In Two Hundred and Fif
tieth Birthday Anniversary of New
Jersey's Hustling Metropolis. - ..
The cynosure of Ucr sister cities of
the entire United States, each of which
has been casting ,un interested and
speculative eye upon her, Newark, me
tropolis of New Jersey, began to cele
brate tills month her two hundred and
fiftieth birthday anniversary. This
great celebration of the founding of
the city on a silo selected by Itobert
Treat, Quukcr, on a trip from Connecti
cut in 1GGG, came after a yenr's prepa
ration and the application of $250,000
to the purpose. The celebration iasts
until October.
Since May 1 the city has enjoyed the
largest music festival held anywhere
In the east in recent years und an in

all -who buy or sell. It has had Its big
parades, opening ceremonies, its found
ers' day and other attendant exercises.
Beginning on Memorial day ami last
ing four nights tf historic pageant In
volving the dramatic services of 4,000
performers is 'to begin. This will be
the -world's greatest spectacle In 1010.
A hundred piece brass band will ac
company the great chorus which will
sing the music of the pageant. The
spectacle will depict the history of the
city from the time of Its establishment
as a hamlet by Robert Treat in 106G to
the present dny. Fifty thousand people
will see each of the four performances,
it is expected, In a great open air am
phitheater In Woequnhle park. The
book for the pageant was written by
the director, Trofessor Thomas Wood
Stevens, chief of the division of dra
matic arts of the Carnegie Institute of
Technology at Pittsburgh, after a year's
intimate study of the city's history.
The music was written by the com
poser, Henry Hadlcy.
The costumes have been made in
large part at Pageant House, Newark,
from designs of experts by the women
of the city who have volu'rered their
services. One of the inief "ting fea
tures of the most lmpiosslve pageant
over undertaken In America has been
the public spirited work of Newark's
talented women. The costumes portray
not only lierlods, but Industries, arts,
sciences and events.
The pageant will be given at night
by means of speclnl and wonderful
new lighting effects. Subdued colors
are to be obtained by emitting from
pipes, set where the footlights usually
nre, a series of Jets of steam, so that
the fairy-like dances will be viewed
Night Court for Wage-Earners.
New York, June 5. A night court
where wage-earners can secure the
prompt settlement of suits involving
small sums will be opened in this
city tonight, it will be held hereafter
four times each week, on Mondays,
Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thurs
days, from 8 to 11 p. m. Branches
wiil be established in the various
boroughs as needed. This aid for
persons who can least afford to suf
fer from the law's delays was finally
recurrd without the passage of a bill
from Albany which would make it
mnHutory. Mayor Mitchel recog
nize! that the authority to set up such
a court was already vested in the
Board of Justice. Directly the
judges took definite action to provide
through a curtain of vapor, giving ft
softening effect.
Woman Tak Active Part.
Miss Mary Porter Beegle of Barnard
college, barefoot dancer, is tiend of the
dancing of the Newark pageant While
other women have been busy wltn tne
needle, paints and dyestulTs at Pa-
; geant House, .ewarK. or consuiuus
art books for costume designs In John
Cotton Dana's public library, Miss Bee
gle has visited some of Newark's 1,200
factories and discussed with artisans
how electrical, ccramlc and jewelry in
dustries may best be visualized. She
has insisted that Its great civic benefit
lay In its very making.
The active work of preparation for
the great pageantry event has been in,

charge of a highly efficient committee
headed by Dr. A. G. Vogt. general
chairman. The musical preparations
for this event have been under the
guidance of Miss Frances Hays and A.
L. Dennis. . Mrs. F. C. Jucobson, chair
man of the committee on costumes, has
been in charge of Pageant . House.
Other active heads of the committee
are H. A. Gueuther, cast; F. W. Caun,
stage settings; Dr. William Diamond,

Dr. A. It. Hiiinelil, organization; Pat
rick C. O'Brien, lighting. The pagertut
secretary at headquarters is- Miss
Sophie Wilds, who directs delails with
executive Intelligence and zeal. All
these and many others have joined
hands with paid and unpaid experts to
make the Newark pageant a worthy
feature of such n celebration as New
ark is to have.
Newark is also spending large sums
of money on nthlctic contests of na
tional' Importance and scores of other
events. The city and her estimated
million of visitors will enjoy more than
a hundred parades, conventions, spe
cial ceremonies, sports, concerts, theat
ricals, church mass meetings, military
exercises, charitable surveys and
school oxhi'iits.
Beautiful street decorations of staff,
designed by export specialists in a keen
prize contest, greet the eyes of visitors.
In nddition to the $250,000 being ex
pended on civic events, the dry Is to
spend $1,500,000 for a splendid memo
rial building to commemorate the
epoch.. With amounts to be spent for
monuments and statues, special pri
vate decorations und for entertainment
of n semi-public and private nature,
and money to bo expended by visitors,
it Is estimated that Newurk's great
birthday party will involve nn ultimate
outlay of not less than $4,000,000.
the court for all the bo:oughs the
mr.vor vetoed the Albany bill. There
are enough justices to divide the work
in such manner as shall prevent the
extra duties from weighing too heav
ily on them. The new Night Court
r.iny g-eatly increase respect for the
law by emphasizing its readiness to
serve the poor, man for whom its
lengthier processes are prohibitive.
The hesitation still goes on in Mcx
ico. We go forward then back up
and now our government is at a point
where it is not sure it is in step with
the music.

ATTEMPTED TO ROB.
Baker Meat Market Scene of An Un
usual Attack.
Baker, June 3. C. Cole, aged 60
and giving Portland as his home, at
tempted to hold up Sam Richardson
at the depot market last evening but
failed in his attempt, for after stiik-
j ing one blow at Richardson with a
shovel handle the latter overpowered
Cole, called assistance and Chief of
Police Jackson was soon at the scene,
taking Cole to the city jail. -
The prisoner entered the market
during the ufternoon, having the han
dle, to which a piece of iron was at
tached. He nsked permission to leave
' it there, later appearing at the mar
kci ana purcnusing uume meui. nn
told Richardson that his team would
bo along soon and that he would pay
him then. Shortly before 6 o'clock,
when Richardson was leaning on the
counter using the telephone, Colo hit
him a hard blow with the shovel han
dle. Being slightly stopped over,
Richardson caught the force of the
blow on his shoulder instead of his
head, otherwise Cole would probably
bo facing a still more serious charge.
Richardson foil, but as Cole rushed at
him the second time he secured the
weapon, knocked Cole down and sum
moned a passerby to his assistance.
Cole at the police station would
not talk, except to say "I have had
trouble with him before. Richardson
never saw Cole, until yesterday. -Cole
gives indications of being mentally
unbalanced, but nevertheless is be
lieved to have planned to knock Rich
ardson out und make away with the
contents of the cash register, which
contained no inconsiderable sum, as
many monthly accounts had been paid
during the day. t
, Richardson's shoulder is very lame
end he has a big lump on his head
where Cole's club hit him, otherwise
being unhurt.
Forethought.
People nre learning that a little
forethought often saves them a big
expense. Here is an instance: E. W.
Archer, Caldwell, Ohio, writes: "I
do not believe that our family has been
without Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy since we com
menced keeping house years ago.
W hen we go on nn extended visit we
take it with us." Obtainable every
where. adv.
